A SENSIBLE PREACHER,

Such is Rev. 5. 4. Gardner of Medford,
Mass, who in his sermon last recently on
the subject, "Can Prohibitionist and a
Temperance Man Conscientiously Vote
with the Republican Party?" said:
81 advocate most stringent total absti-
nence, and more than that, | am a Pro-
hibtlonist," and wherever the issue comes
squarely between prohibition on the one
hand and liquor on the other / will vote
prohibition every time. Are we called
upon in general elections to vote for pro-
hibition? Are we not rather called upon
to vote for some party to take charge of
the Government? We vote for mixture
not single issue, and the question is not
how do you like prohibition but how do
you like the mixture? We vote for par
ty to take charge of all departments of
State and not single idea. A man try
ing to hire himself to farmer for farm
work, was, for instance, an expert
miller, but could do nothing else. So
with the Prohibition party, they claim to
be an expert in prohibition, giving their
whole time to that one subject, and while
he was in full sympathy with that part,
he wanted party to deal with all While
the one idea of prohibition was good. it
takes good many ideas to make good
government; and so while none of the
parties were perfection on all points, he
was going to take that party that had the
best mixture, and not stay at home and
vote for none, simply because he could
not find any party having every point to
just suit him. He spoke of the Aboli-
tionists who used to say that if anything
was ever done for the slaves they (the
Abolitionists) would have to do it, and
called Lincoln traitor and villified him
and yet Lincoln wrote the Emancipation
Proclamation. and the Republican party
freed the slaves. Polygamy has beer
practically abolished without a third
party, and he believed it was not necess-
ary to have a third party to abolish the
liquor traffic. He believed man could
conscientiously be temperance man and
a prohibitionist and not belong to the
Prohibitionist party, and while that par
ty was doing a good work be believed
they could do better work by working
with the Republican party, and not stand
ing off one side and scolding.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The people of Ohio do not take stock
in Democratic free-trade doctrines, as is
shown by the result there.
This is cold year for boodlers. The
Chicago gang have just been sentenced
to two years in the penetentiary.
The New Hampshire legislature just
before it adjourned the other day passed
a law to prevent bribery and corruption.
1t was needed.
German and his gang are victorious in
Maryland, but there are victories, some
times, that are worse than defeats. This
may turn out to be one of that kind.
The difference between the number of
votes claimed by George before election
and the number counted for him after it
was over is noteworthy. The land-tax
theory is an exploded humbug.
Prof. Peter Collier is still strong in his
faith in sorghum, writing thus to a Bur-

South Carolina produces the most ar
tistic dun on record. A newspaper there
thus addresses its subscribers: "Some
of our subscribers owe us for two wears.
Some for three. In the stringent times
of the past twelve months our manhood
and gentility have forbidden us to trouble
any of our subscribers. At present the
matter is different. Money is tolerably
plentiful. And now the manhood and
gentility should be on the other side. And
it will be. We feel that we need say no
more"
1t has been acknowledged that the
affairs of the post-office department were
poorly managed under the present ad-
ministration, but it appears that other
departments are in no better hands. The
Independent says of the Indian bureau
sit is managed in the interest not of the
Indians, but of the Democratic party.
A man is put in or retained in an agency
or clerkship in the Indian service not
because he will do the Indians good in
Dakota or Montana, but because he will
do the Democratic party or some of It's
members good in Tennessee or Mississip-
pi. There has been, under this admins
tration, a very great deterioration in the
service, and the men responsible for it
are, first, President Cleveland, more so
Secretary Lamar, much more so Commits
sioner Atkins, and most of all Assistant
Commissioner Upshaw."

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.

The indications are that the seven an

will be hung to-day. Strong efforts to
save them are, however, being made.
Wednesday proceedings were begun with
a view to showing that Louis Lining, one
of them, is insane; also to procure a
writ of habeas corpus for Spies, Fielden
and Schwab. on the ground that the
Judgment of the State supreme court was
illegal in that it said Judgment" should
be affirmed instead of judgments" in
each case; also that the defendants
should be in court at the time the judg-
ment of the court is rendered. and at
that time they were in Cook county Jail.
One of the judges of the criminal court
was to consider the application for the
writ yesterday. In the meantime Gov.
Oglesby is devoting his whole time to
hearing and reading petitions for and
against executive clemency, but it is not
believed that he will interfere.

THE ELECTIONS.

Elections were held in ten States on
Tuesday. The most important were in
New York, where the Democrats won by
a plurality of about 10000 on the State
ticket and chose Fellows, Tammany
Democrat, district attorney; in Ohio,
where Foraker, Republican, was chosen
by 25,000 plurality, and in Massachusetts,
which reflects Ames, Republican, COVER
nor, by 1900 plurality, the Democrats
losing S400 in the State. In Iowa, Lar
rabee, Republican, is elected governor.
In Pennsylvania Hart, the Republican
candidate for State treasurer, has plu-
rality of 36,S96, Democratic gain of
G630.

the Senate to stand Democrats %, Re
publicans 10. with five districts yet to

the figures to Democrats IS, Republicans

publicans %, with 10 counties to hear
from, which, the dispatches say, will
probably change the figures to Demo-
Gratis So, Republicans 80, making ma
jority of 46 on joint ballot.
Maryland returns received insure the
election of the Democratic State ticket
by majority of 10000. The legislature
on joint ballot is Democratic by a ma
jorty of Il, Republican gain of II. The
constitutional convention is defeated by
$1,000 votes. The prohibition vote was
about 5000.
In Oregon the constitutional prohib-

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1887
ROODIERS TRIUMPHANT

The election of Col. Fellows as district
attorney at New York shows, If it shows
anything, that the boodler crowd is still
dominant in the politics of that city.
Fellows connection with the Tweed ring
was proved beyond reasonable doubt by
the publication of letters written by him
to the "boss" in 1873. Moreover it was
demonstrated that Fellows has no char
acter to speak of and that he is the tool
of the gang which is now devoting its
energies to the task of keeping out OF
prison the remnant of the "boodle
board of aldermen not already behind the
bars. But in spite of all this Fellows is
elected.

WHY OUR SCHOOLS HAVE DECLINED.
The truth is, as | maintain, that with
the gradual depopulation of those rural
districts there has been waning of social
life in them. Agriculture has langushed,
schools have languished, all interests
have suffered, and it is idle to talk about
bringing up those schools to a maximum
prosperity without they can be sustained
by social life, or, in other words, by a
home population. OF course, it is the
duty of the law-making power to take
these sparely settled districts as it finds
them. They cannot fill them with inhab-
itants by legislation.-[ Hon. Barnes

LONDON, April 29.-The officials of the
American exhibit gave lunch in honor
of Mr.. Gladstone's visit yesterday, "a
which Colonel Russell, of Boston, pre-
sided. In replying to toast to his health,
Mr.. Gladstone said that the institutions
and progress of America had always been
a subject of great interest to him. Ever
since, very many years ago, when he
studied the life of George Washington, he
had become aware, firstly, of the magni-
tude of the destiny which had been re-
served for Americans, and secondly, that
the period of the birth of the American
State was of more interest than any other
it was pd ssible to study. Whenever
youth desiHous of studying political Ii
consulted him respecting a course o
study in the>field of history he always re
ferred him to the early history of Ameri-
ca. God Almighty made Englishmen and
Americans kinsmen. They ought to have
affections for one another. If they had
not humanity would cry shame upon
them. He rejoiced that the clouds which
had obs cured their mutual vision had al
most vanished from the political sky, and
that the future was as bright and promis-
ing as the warmest-hearted among them
could desire.
